While cases of COVID-19 at Calgary’s Foothills Medical Centre have raised concerns, doctors say nearly half of those infected were partially or fully vaccinated, which may have prevented a worse outbreak

The Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary, Alta., is seen on Wednesday, April 1, 2020, amid a worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jeff McIntoshwas among a group of people who caught the virus at the hospital despite being fully vaccinated.

The Delta variant is believed to be more contagious and reduces the effectiveness of a single dose to an estimated 33 per cent, though two doses are still thought to be very effective. Mr. Williamson said in a statement that the outbreak reinforces that vaccines work. Of the 23 people infected, most had mild cases and only two required intensive care.

“But we are going to see this occasionally that we have people who get affected and, rarely, who get severe disease.”

So why do we all need to get this vaccine then? Why are they taking rights away from unvaccinated? Ridiculous

So now it is rare, but expected to have people die after vaccinations. 'It's all normal, folks... don't be alarmed by the post vaccination deaths... that's expected.' ~ 'expert' Lots of folks never question anything they see in print. The word, 'rare' pops up a lot lately.

You need a functioning immune system regardless of vaccine

This is another COVID death as age and other health issues are ignored.

Horrific . 80 year olds should never die .
